The Loves of a Blonde

Dir. Milos Forman (1965).
Uniquely dialectical, Milos Formans deadpan farcein which a young woman loses her illusions, perhapsplays as funny-sad. Formans largely nonprofessional actors are at once cute and ugly, his technique is both spontaneous and studied, the world is cozy yet bleak, and the filmmakers attitude is simultaneously tender and cruel.
